Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

cooking spray
4 cups frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 ounces vegetarian sausage
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
1 cup chopped mushrooms
4 large eggs
2 large egg whites
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ teaspoon hot sauce
1 medium tomato, sliced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9 1/2-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Press hash browns into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared dish. Spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and crisp all over, 35 to 45 minutes. Note that the top edges will brown very quickly and become very dark; you can cut that away it it becomes too dark.
  • When the hash browns are baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; cook for 1 minute. Add sausage; cook and stir until crumbly and brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add bell pepper and mushrooms; cook until mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain any excess liquid from the skillet.
  • Remove hash browns from the oven. Scoop veggie mixture on top.
  • Combine 4 eggs and 2 egg whites in a bowl with Cheddar cheese and hot sauce. Mix until eggs just come together without being frothy. Pour over veggie mixture and spread evenly.
  • Return to the oven and bake until eggs are just set, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and spread sliced tomato over top. Lightly season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with parsley. Return to the oven for 1 minute.
  • Slide a spatula around the edges and slice into 8 pieces. Serve hot.

VEGETARIAN BREAKFAST CASSEROLE



Vegetarian Breakfast Casserole image

A filling and hearty vegetarian breakfast casserole with roasted vegetables and cheese. Low carb and gluten free. Prep it overnight for easy entertaining!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Breakfast     brunch

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and diced)
8 ounces whole cremini baby bella mushrooms (quartered (do not use sliced mushrooms or they may overcook when roasting))
1 small head broccoli (cut into florets)
1 red bell pepper (diced)
1 red or yellow onion (cut into ½-inch dice)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
12 large eggs
½ cup milk
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning (or dried herbs of choice)
4 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese
Chopped fresh basil (thyme, or parsley (optional))

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat 2 large baking sheets with nonstick spray. Lightly mist a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • Place the vegetables in a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Divide the vegetables evenly between the two sheets and spread them into a single layer. Roast the vegetables until tender, about 20 minutes, tossing the vegetables on the pan so they cook evenly and switching the pans' positions on the upper and lower racks once halfway through. Transfer half of the roasted vegetables to the prepared casserole dish and spread into an even layer. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs together with the milk, garlic, and Italian seasoning until evenly blended. Gently pour it into the casserole dish. Scatter the remaining vegetables evenly over the top, then dollop the ricotta over the top in small spoonfuls (I like to add about 20 to 24 spoonfuls; you want to each slice to have a few dollops, but have them be large enough so that you can actually taste them).
  • Bake the casserole for 35 to 40 minutes, until the casserole is golden on top and the center no longer jiggles when you shake the pan. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for hash browns due to their high starch content, which helps them hold their shape during cooking.
  • Shred the Potatoes Evenly: Use a box grater or a food processor fitted with a shredding blade to shred the potatoes evenly. This will ensure that they cook evenly in the casserole.
  • Squeeze Out Excess Moisture: After shredding the potatoes, use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This will help prevent the casserole from becoming soggy.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooked vegetables will make the casserole watery.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and sage, add a lot of flavor to the casserole. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount specified in the recipe.
  • Don't Skimp on the Cheese: Cheese is what makes this casserole so rich and decadent. Use a good quality cheddar cheese or a blend of cheddar and mozzarella.
  • Let the Casserole Rest Before Serving: After baking, let the casserole rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the casserole to set.

Conclusion:

This veggie hash brown breakfast casserole is a delicious and easy way to start your day. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your casserole turns out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying breakfast, give this recipe a try!
